Hofstra class eyes small-biz social media

You probably have a personal Facebook page or a Twitter account, but when it comes to promoting your small business, social media can be a completely different animal.

To educate small Long Island business on the best practices for using social media as a promotional tool, the Hofstra University Continuing Education Department is scheduled a two-part class for Wednesday and April 2; “Social Media For Small Business” is slated to run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. both nights on the Hempstead campus.

Instructor Kevin Ryan, a private social media consultant, will share practical tips on using Facebook, Twitter, Pintrest and other social media sites as low-budget marketing platforms.

The classes cost $110 for both sessions. To reserve a seat or for more information, call (516) 463-7200 or visit ce.hofstra.edu/digital.
